The word "Carmant" may sound like it is spelled with a "k" rather than a "c." However, the IPA phonetic transcription reveals that the sound is actually a voiceless velar fricative "kʰ" followed by a voiced labiodental fricative "v." The combination of these sounds creates the unique spelling of "Carmant." It is important to pay attention to phonetics and understand the sounds of a word in order to spell it correctly.
